    Blazers must win this game if they want to be .500 at home and stay afloat in the race for the last playoff spot in the West.

    2nd night of a back-to-back for Milwaukee. Hopefully, this (along with home court) makes the Blazers a little bit more competitive with the Bucks.

    Too bad the Bucks aren't wearing their Cream City jerseys this game. It would've been interesting to see those against our Rip City jerseys.

    Yeah, this will be as ugly as Tolliver's jump shot.

    This is a case we need an alternative name to "jump shot."

    "Slump shot?" "Dump shot?" "Chump shot?" "Things go bump in the night shot?" "Ugly as a baboon's rump shot?" "Something-something Forrest Gump shot?" :hoops:


    HA! Maybe you should use this as a poll! :devilwink:

    We are going to get annihilated.

    Side note: although great looking, we need to ditch the rip city jerseys. They are fucking cursed!

    There better at least be changes to the rotation. I don’t know how you can justify Bazemore being in the rotation, let alone starting. Among rotation players he’s the worst offensive player, the least efficient shooter, and his defense isn’t good enough to make up for it. Even Mario grades out better than him.
